Starting Position
- bring your body into the plank position
- rest the forearms on the floor and stretch out your legs to the back
- lift the hip, so that the body builds a line from head to heels
- the shoulders are right above the elbows now
- your body weight is on the forearms and feet
Correct Execution
- keep up the tension in the core area
- now turn the hip to the left side, then to the right side, repeat this several times
- the hip is allowed to touch the ground, but try to avoid it
- you can turn the feet with the motion a bit
- the arms and shoulders do not move as possible, the turning happens in the hip only
tips for the workout
- it becomes a little easier, if you bring your forearms on the seat area of a chair
- the body remains in a line then, too
